  • I just need someone to remake TLoU Factions on a free to play multiplayer network. Genuinely baffled me that ND didn’t include it in the remake.

    TLoU Factions is everything I want in a multiplayer PvP “Survival” game.

    In Factions, your performance earns you “supplies” which you use to grow or shrink your base over 12 matches and “events” happen in which your performance over three matches is evaluated to again grow or shrink your base.

    Every 12 matches, the base resets and you start again. But after a while you stop caring about the base (because all the achievements tied to it are unlocked) and you start playing for fun and the perk system allows for a lot of skill expression and niche crafting.

    Players can naturally become ninjas with smoke bombs and shivs, or healers/gifters, snipers, brawlers etc. and the parts systems is balanced in such a way to provide a comeback for weaker players/teams where necessary but in a way that’s fair.

    The game-to-game gameplay is the same though: 1) fight for map control and rotations of lockbox spawn points that contain crafting items for each of your teammates individually - centre one holds the most/rarest items; 2) craft items to help your battle - these persist on death after crafting; 3) Complete the team objective: eliminate the enemy team or capture their stronghold.

    It’s the best fucking loop, I can’t really describe it and I really wish I didn’t need PS Plus to play it.
